Meet Brooklyn Dunegan, a three year member of Colbert High School Varsity Cheer.  What Brooklyn loves most about her time on the squad is the strong bond and friendships that have grown through teamwork.  One unforgettable memory that she recalls is getting dropped on the hip during a Silo ballgame!  In addition to cheerleading, Brooklyn lists dancing and choir as her other hobbies.  When she’s not practicing or performing, you'll find Brooklyn supporting the Leopards and heading out on exciting choir trips.

Congratulations, Brooklyn, on being May’s Laudable Leopard, and keep up the great work!

Owned and operated by the Webb Family, RiverView RV Park is located south of town on the banks of the Red River and has been welcoming guests since May 2010.  For the last fifteen years, they have met the needs of recreational campers as well as long-term guests.  RiverView is a great landing spot for those who are temporarily in the area for work, empty nesters, in between selling and buying a home, or just looking for a more low maintenance lifestyle.  

In addition to amenities like an event space, dog park, storm shelter, convenience store, laundry, and propane refill, RiverView is nicely maintained and gated, and the staff strives to maintain a community feel among guests.  One of their favorite things to do is host a campground pot luck dinner every month.

RiverView is excited about being a part of the Colbert community, the recent growth in town, and looks forward to partnering with other businesses and organizations as the opportunity allows in the future.

Senior Presley Dawson is member of Colbert School Student Council & Leadership and is April’s Laudable Leopard. 

The thing Presley enjoys most about being part of Student Council is the numerous school activities the group hosts for students of all ages. She has fun spending the day helping run the activities! For Leadership, she finds it rewarding to be able to foster a positive environment for both students and staff members.  Presley has even been able to go across the school campuses gifting recognition items to both students and staff.  She really enjoys working with her fellow high school and elementary students.

A favorite memory in Leadership that stands out for Presley is having creative liberty when filming videos for the school’s YouTube news channel with my friends.  Be sure and check out The Cat Chat channel!

Presley’s family and friends inspire her! Her parents are hard-workers who have worked to earn what they have and that inspires her to always do her best. In addition to her parents, her friends also inspire her to take chances and put herself out there.

Music is one of Presley’s favorite things in the world! When she’s not listening to music or spending time and making memories with her friends and family, you can find her at basketball games cheering on the Leopards.  She also enjoys the Colbert Fall Festival hosted annually in the Colbert City Park.

Congratulations, Presley, on being April’s Laudable Leopard, and keep up the great work!

Sally Moon is April’s Community Member Spotlight, and she is representing the Colbert Historical Society, a non-profit organization whose mission is to protect and preserve the history of the region. At this time, the organization has over 100 charter members.

Since relocating back to the area in the early 1990s, Sally has been an active member of the Colbert Historical Society. She has learned a lot of history and was instrumental in helping with the compiling printing, publishing, and the sales of “Colbert 1845-1982”, an interesting book detailing some of the town’s earliest days.

During her decades of service with the Historical Society, Sally has hosted groups from Colbert Schools, prepared gift baskets and refreshments for local nursing homes, and organized musical entertainment downtown, complete with snacks. The largest event hosted by the organization was Colbert’s Annual Frontier Day. Frontier Day was a great time and expanded over the years to include BBQ lunch with all the trimmings, booths and activities, and even a car show! During the 2006 Frontier Day, Sally was a member of Texoma Vintage and Classic Car Club, and the club brought about 70 antique and classic cars to display. Sally will always remember that day as a special one when Colbert’s downtown was packed with booths, cars, and people.

Outside of her Historical Society service, Sally is a member of the Highway 91 Church of Christ where she worships and attends 1st Sunday Luncheons, Ladies Day, and other activities. She has also been on the Colbert Park Board and volunteered with the Colbert Senior Citizen’s Center, where she frequents for lunch. Sally enjoys decorating and antiquing, collecting older pottery and depression glass, and she has owned small antique shoppes in Colbert and other towns.

Supporting small local business is important to Sally, and she encourages others to do the same. She enjoys the great food and service at the Farmstead and appreciates that Cuts N’ Such’s has walk-in days. Sally also enjoys the friendly service when she banks at First United and Bowles’ Station when she needs fuel. When the weather is nice, you might even see her having lunch under the Historical Society’s pavilion and picnic area by their building. The Historical Society Building downtown holds photos, plaques, and other information, and, while they don’t have regular hours, Sally and the other members would love to host anybody who is interested in a private tour.

Congratulations on being featured as April’s member spotlight!
